As a Machine Learning Engineer II, you will be part of the Burger King U.S. & Canada team developing and refining machine‑learning models that drive improvements in traffic, profitability and overall restaurant performance.

Based in Miami, FL, you will work on site five days per week. Your role will involve close collaboration with Analytics Engineering, Data Engineering and MLOps teams.

• Machine Learning Model Development II: design, develop, and iterate on machine‑learning models, including causal inference, recommendation systems, clustering and optimization models to address high‑impact business problems.
• Experimentation & Impact Evaluation: partner with Analytics Engineering to design and evaluate experiments (e.g., A/B testing, matched cohorts, difference‑in‑differences) to validate model performance and quantify real‑world impact.
• Optimization & Decision Modeling: develop models that inform actionable decisions, including prioritization frameworks and expected-value based optimization to drive improvements in traffic and profitability.
• Model Evaluation & Continuous Improvement: monitor, evaluate, and refine model performance using statistical methods, backtesting and iterative experimentation to ensure accuracy, stability and sustained impact.
• Feature Engineering from Curated Data: transform curated datasets into high‑quality model inputs through feature engineering, selection and validation, leveraging domain knowledge and statistical techniques.
• Collaboration with Engineering & MLOps: work closely with Analytics Engineering, Data Engineering and MLOps teams to ensure models are production-ready, scalable and effectively integrated into downstream systems.

• 3+ years of experience in machine learning, applied statistics or a related field, with a focus on developing and evaluating models in real‑world applications.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Statistics, Economics, Operations Research, Mathematics, Computer Science or a related quantitative field; equivalent applied experience will also be considered.
• Strong foundation in statistical modeling and machine learning, with the ability to explain model selection, assumptions and trade‑offs.
• Experience applying a range of modeling techniques such as regression, clustering, recommendation systems and optimization methods.
• Familiarity with experimental design and causal inference techniques (e.g., A/B testing, difference‑in‑differences, cohort‑based analysis).
• Strong programming skills in Python for analysis and model development.
• Proficiency in SQL and experience working with large‑scale datasets in Snowflake or a similar cloud data warehouse.
• Experience working in AWS environments (e.g., Sage Maker, EMR) and familiarity with workflow orchestration tools such as Dagster or Airflow.
